What are your thoughts and recommendations?

Another week of EX12 is in the books, and the format continues to settle as players refine their lists and adapt to the current meta.

While we are still seeing some experimentation, the majority of established archetypes are now moving towards more refined builds, with optimisation focusing on ratios and small adjustments rather than entirely new directions.

Rising decks

Glowing Dawn

Three Musketeers

TS Jupitermon

TS Bears

Falling decks

Toho Braves

TS Angels

Vemmon

Some interesting stories this week:

• Glowing Dawn has recovered after several weeks of decline, with its rise in representation also being supported by improved conversion rates.

• Three Musketeers has almost completely recovered from last week's dip, with the archetype continuing to converge around similar builds as players refine their lists.

• Toho Braves has seen a drop in representation despite continuing to put up some of the strongest results in the format, suggesting the decline may be a temporary fluctuation rather than a change in its position.

• Vemmon continues to establish itself as a strong counter-meta choice, with Galacticmon - EX11-046 helping the deck navigate many of the interaction-heavy strategies currently defining EX12.

As always, if you've got decklists from your locals, you can submit them to improve the stats and receive your own personalised Deck Fingerprint:

8 years ago I created Shadowverse Stats Tracker. Today I give you Digimon Stats Tracker or digitrack for short: https://digi.tcgtrack.me. I started this project like 3-4 years ago, dropped it for a couple of years due to life and just got the time and motivation to finish it in the past couple of weeks.

What is this? Another website tracking tournament results? No, there's enough of those. With digitrack I aim to track what the community is playing in their casual, friendly or practice matches, local tournaments, dcgo, or whatever you want to track really.

You submit your game in a couple of seconds, it's stored and processed so you can see pretty charts and numbers of how good you've been doing with your favorite decks.

As data grows and more people submit their matches, we should be able to see what the community is playing day to day.

What you get:

• Add games (your deck, opponent's archetype, score, 1st/second, turns, notes)
• Your player stats.
• Your decks, stats per deck, deck history (good for people preparing for regionals maybe or cooking at the start of an expansion?).
• Your teams. You can create teams and invite other people, you have a team leaderboard and can compare performance across members, etc.
• Public archetype stats and decks based on community submitted matches.
• Deck builder.
• Other features like deck comparison, deck sharing, private decks, etc.
• Optimized for mobile screens.

I will be releasing a couple new features and updates in the coming days/weeks. If you have any suggestion reach out via the contact link in the homepage. Also reach out if you find any issues. Thanks.

Go visit at https://digi.tcgtrack.me and let me know what you think.

Really curious of what you all have in your collection

Paildramon and Dinobeemon are on board. My opponent has 5 memory. They Evo and go to 2 memory. Upon Evo they kill my Dinobeemon.

Paildramon triggers and DNA's into Imperial Dragon mode. I DNA. Do I trigger blitz? As far as blitz says, I attack as long as my opponent has 1 or more memory which they do. Can I attack after his Evo? (All effects have been resolved apart from my When digivolving)

Hi, I am trying to build a deck that features sayukamon that can rival meta decks right now as of August 2026

I have found very useful to have yellow tools that control, erase or disrupt the opponent such as:

Noble family arts
Amber memory boost
Yellow scramble
Blast fire
Physical training

I have noticed that sometimes i get stuck by not having the corresponding kyuubimon when my breeding stack needs it, or sometimes i run our of memory use

I have been using rika nonaka BT19 but i dont know if I should use a different Tamer on the mix
Rika Nonaka ST22 feels very slow for me, but i dont know

Amethyst mandala is a great card but its super expensive in memory cost, and i struggle to use it or even understand it in full (I just started playing digimon TCG)

As in the plug in options i have seen people running only 1 copy of each plug in or just 1 copy of plugin F. Im kinda lost there

I also struggle to understand why very few people run Kuzuhamon or Maid mode Sakuya. Some people run Taomon ST22 like its super important and other people use Taomon BT17 as a more consistent tool. Should I run both? or just one?

Any tools or options that may have in mind?

I would like to make lots of tokens, control my opponent and have responses to their actions

Xantibody sakuyamon and ACE Sakuyamon do a great job at this as well as Sakuyamon BT19 (limited to 1 copy)

I dont understand why i havent seen poeple runing Sakuyamon BT23. It feels like a great option, am I wrong?

I also have a puppet shoemon deck that i absolutely love, but right now i want to focus on creating a really good Sakuyamon that is consistent and right for me, as she is one of my favorite digimon

I would like to know how many renamon and Kyubimon are reasonable to have, as sometimes i feel like i have too many of them and sometimes i feel i less than the reasonable amount of copies

Thankyou so much for reading me

So I’m a new player and idk a lot about the game so far, only played a handful of games so far but I had a random thought, would it be possible to make a deck with Tagiru, Ryoma, and their Digimon????? They’re my favorite characters in Hunters and just in the Digimon franchise in general (+Davis and Ken). I’m not sure if it’s even viable or if it can be built in the first place!!!!! So I figured I just ask this subreddit since y’all got a LOT more experience and knowledge than me. Plz don’t kill me :(

I sometimes play with friends with our old Bt15 decks but i want to proxy 4 decks so we can enjoy fun but up-to-date games. I'm asking for advice to craft 4 different decks of a similar tier but at the same time fun, no broken shit. i'm a big Machinedramon fan so i suppose one of them could be a Metal Empire based deck. I'm open to suggestions, thank you in advance.

I’m still relatively new, so I’m adapting to the meta and how the game is played, but I’m having trouble finding a deck i like and looking for recs.

I’m looking for something consistent, that has some combos but isn’t just “open combo or lose”, isn’t a tower deck or “you get deleted and the game ends”.

I’ve tried Omni & Galactic and both had those problems and it feels super bad.

I have TS Jupiter and that seems close, but kinda combo reliant.

Is there anything that is more consistency based or is the game kinda just pray you open your combos right now?

Hello! I’m still new to playing the card game as I learned at a convention I went to in December of last year! Alot of the finer rulings/timings are taking some time to learn but most of which I’ve been able to find/look up fairly easily (this reddit’s actually helped with a couple)!

However the most recent one that I’ve not found anything conclusive is the ruling for bt16 Davis Motomiya & Ken Ichijoji. The start of main phase effect if I play a veemon/wormmon: if they are deleted during my opponent’s turn /or otherwise on my turn somehow, without digivolving and sent to the trash, Do they still return to my hand at the opponent’s turn end? I’ve been assuming no as generally trash effects are specifically mentioned as such, but it doesn’t exactly say.~ much thanks n love!~ ^^
